Detailed Summary
Graham, the bar manager at 195 Piccadilly (the home of BAFTA), shares a recipe for a 'Red Carpet Refresher' mocktail to celebrate the EE British Academy Film Awards. The drink uses Badoit sparkling mineral water as its base, combined with a homemade gum syrup made from equal parts water and caster sugar. The process involves juicing a fresh lime and preparing a red chili by removing the seeds to ensure the drink has a balanced heat without being overwhelming. Lemongrass is then meticulously split and chopped to maximize the release of its fresh, citrusy aromas. These ingredients are combined in a mixing glass with sugar syrup and muddled together using a muddler or rolling pin to integrate the flavors. To finish the drink, the mixture is poured into a fresh glass filled with ice and topped with Badoit water. After a gentle stir to preserve the delicate bubbles, the drink is garnished with a final squeeze of lime and a top-off of sparkling water, resulting in a refreshing and aromatic non-alcoholic beverage.
